Allow us to fully close program on "X" out
Add option so when we "X" out of EA Desktop, the program actually closes instead of minimizing to the system tray.

EA SPORTS FC™ TeamHi @MindlessProton,
You can close down the EA app fully by clicking on the 3 stripes on the top left and choosing "Exit". Another way to fully close the app is by using ALT+F4.
I understand that's not what you're looking for, but I just wanted to highlight some workarounds 🙂
I'll be sure to keep monitoring this thread for feedback to see if other community members feel the same.
@EA_Jason What is your thoughts on the EA Background Service that’s constantly running, even if you do fully close the EA App? Why is it running with system permissions?? This BS is like a back door right into our computers and the only way to stop it is to turn it off in task manager. If you do stop it, the app doesn’t work either. Pretty damn convenient? The App itself closing is a minor inconvenience, the background service, which most users don’t even realize is there, is a far greater concern than the app minimizing. When is EA going to explain themselves? I’ve looked around, so far it’s crickets. When EA is comprised and this back door is used for malicious intent, EA must realize they’re responsible for that? We’re not stupid, I won’t be buying another EA game until this is rectified.
